Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a vehicle is obviously totally destroyed or so badly damaged the cost of repair exceeds its value, the loss to the owner is determined by ascertaining the value of the vehicle on the date of the accident less its salvage value. Where, however, the cost of repair is less than the value of the vehicle the measure of damages is the cost of repair.” (Emphasis added).”
